Friendly Carers Group Monthly Morning Tea

Hello Carers,
It's time for another Friendly Carers Group Morning Tea, and we'd love you to join us!

Caring for a loved one can be rewarding, but it can also be physically and emotionally demanding. That's why taking time out for yourself is so important.

Our monthly Morning Tea provides carers with an opportunity to step away from their caring role for a few hours, enjoy some well deserved respite, and connect with others who truly understand the carer journey.

Whether you're a regular attendee or considering joining us for the first time, you'll find a welcoming and supportive group of people ready to share a cuppa, a laugh, and a conversation.

The Friendly Carers Group is more than just a social gathering. We provide:

• Peer support and understanding from fellow carers

• Information about services and resources available to carers

• Referrals to organisations that can provide additional support and assistance

• Opportunities to build friendships, reduce isolation, and strengthen community connections.

Many carers tell us they leave feeling refreshed, informed, supported, and reminded that they are not alone.

We invite everyone to bring along a small plate to share. Whether it's something homemade or store-bought, your contribution helps make our morning tea a special community gathering.

Date: Friday 26 June
Time: 11:00am
Venue: Lynbrook Community Centre - 2 Harris St, Lynbrook.

Take some time for yourself and join us for a morning of friendship, support and information sharing.

We look forward to seeing you there.

Warm regards,

Hello Carers,

I hope you are all keeping well.

As carers, we often spend so much time supporting others that we forget to look after our own wellbeing.

I would like to recommend Linda Stinton, a dedicated and compassionate psychologist who supports individuals, families, and carers through life’s challenges.

Professional support can be very helpful when managing stress, anxiety, grief, burnout, and the demands that come with a caring role.

If you would like further information or contact details, please feel free to message me.

Kind regards,
